Saving Results with Title Lists

Title lists gather and save information from your search results. You can create a working title list from your current search results, then print it, send it by e-mail, or save it to a disk. You have the following format choices for your lists:

Brief bibliographic display - Can include availability information

Full bibliographic display - Can include availability information

Chicago Manual of Style bibliography - Check the requirements of your school, college, or journal. If you print or save the list in this format, you may need to edit it to match specific requirements.

American Psychological Association (APA) bibliography - Check the requirements of your school, college, or journal. If you print or save the list in this format, you may need to edit the format to match specific requirements.

Your working title list is available for your current session only. However, if you have a library account, you can create and save multiple title lists in association with your library account. Whenever you log in, you can see and work with your saved lists.

In working and saved lists, you can check multiple titles and move or copy them from a working list to a saved list or among saved lists, and print, email, or save to disk any list pages, as well as email the entire list. You can also check single or multiple titles to place hold requests on the selected title or titles, if your library offers this feature.

Create and edit a working title list

To build a working title list from your current search results:

In the search results display, locate the title you want to add to the title list, and click Add to My List. The title is added to My Lists at the side (computer or tablet) or bottom (phone) of the page.

In the search results display, a Remove icon appears next to the Add to My List link. You can select Remove to take the title off the working title list.

Repeat step 1 to add titles to the title list.

To view information about the titles in the working title list, select Show list details. The titles on the list are displayed in the center of the page in Brief Bibliographic display format.

Note:Each title in your title list is a link. You can select a title to launch a search for the title in the library catalog. (This feature does not apply to titles you may have added from databases other than your library catalog.)

To change the display format, select a format in the Format list. If you select Brief Bibliographic or Full Bibliographic, you can choose to include availability information for each title. Select Local Availability or System Availability from the Include Availability list.

To change the number of titles displayed on the page, select the per page box and select a number from the drop-down list.

To change the sort order, select the Sort box and select a sort order from the drop-down list.

If you want to delete one or more titles from the working title list, do one of the following actions:

To delete all the titles, select Delete List at the top of the title list, or select Clear list in the working list summary at the side or bottom of the page.

To delete titles from the list one at a time, select Remove From List by each title you want to delete.

To delete multiple titles from the title list, select the check box by each title you want to delete. Then select Remove selected at the bottom of the list. The titles are removed from the title list.

Important:The working title list remains visible until you delete all the titles on it, log out (if you have logged in), or close the browser window. If you are using the online catalog in the library and are concerned about your privacy, delete the working title list before you leave the library computer.

If you want to use your working title list after your catalog session, you can save, print, or send it using the following procedures:
